When product bridging occurs inside a conventional stainless steel surge hopper, there's usually no way of knowing until a downstream process starts starving for product. By then, production may already be slowing down or coming to a halt.
The BFM® Venting Surge Hopper eliminates that guesswork. Its transparent Seeflex construction allows operators to instantly see how product is flowing and spot any build-up before it becomes a problem. The flexible hopper walls also let operators quickly and easily free blockages by hand, reducing downtime and helping maintain a smooth, uninterrupted process.
